The set-up: 8-1 Stanford is at 3-7 San Jose State for a Saturday night non-conference matchup. I'm not calling for the outright upset, but I do think that the visitors will get caught flat footed here vs. this hungry home side. SJSU has lost five straight, so motivation won't be an issue here.

The pick: Seneca Knight has scored in double-digit in six of his last seven games for the Spartans and I predict the SJSU standout will have a big game on his home floor. The Spartans are struggling in all categories, but I think from a situational stand point this one sets up nicely for them, as the Cardinal get caught looking ahead to their game at home vs. the surging San Francisco Dons. No outright, but a comfortable cover through the back door once it's all said and done.
